Finally...a miracle.

On Friday June 29, 2007, I signed the final adoption decree.

Margarita and I were at the children’s social welfare office present with my lawyer, the director of adoptions and their legal counsel.

This still hasn’t quite hit me yet since we have been through so much over the past few years. Unfortunately, we still have to complete the U.S. immigration paperwork before we can come home. My hope is that it won’t take longer than 2 months.

Thank you to all who have supported us and prayed. Most of all to Skz, (Mono, as Margarita calls him) for his never ending emotional and financial support, including his many, many trips to see us. We would not have gotten to where we are now without him.

Thank you.
